Psalmi 138

1 Davidov. Zahvaljujem ti, Jahve, iz svega srca jer si čuo riječi mojih usta. Pred licem anđela pjevam tebi,

Of David. I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.

2 bacam se nice prema svetom Hramu tvojemu. Zahvaljujem imenu tvojem za tvoju dobrotu i vjernost, jer si nada sve uzveličao obećanje svoje.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

3 Kad sam te zazvao, uslišio si me, dušu si moju pokrijepio.

On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.

4 Nek' ti zahvaljuju, Jahve, svi kraljevi zemlje kad čuju riječi usta tvojih,

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

5 nek' pjevaju putove Jahvine: “Zaista, velika je slava Jahvina!”

They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Zaista, uzvišen je Jahve, ali gleda na ponizna, a oholicu izdaleka poznaje.

Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.

7 Kroz nevolje kad budem kročio, život mi čuvaj, pruži ruku proti gnjevu mojih dušmana; nek' me tvoja spasi desnica!

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

8 Jahve, što ja počeh, ti dovrši! Jahve, vječna je ljubav tvoja: djelo ruku svojih ne zapusti!

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands.
